what are lipids used for in the human body?

Answer 1

lipids are the same thing as fats... they are used as a last resort for energy

Answer 2

Lipid is fat. It's used for cushioning (like, wrapped around nerves, or under your skin) and some vitamins are only fat-soluble, so it's used to dissolve them and move them around your body.

Fat is also broken down for energy, but it's easier for the body to store fat as, well, fat, so a lot of it taken in might just go to your fat stores. Some of it bobs around in your blood as the little fat particles that clog your arteries. Your brain needs fat to function.

Plus, fat tastes gooood. Humans love fat because it's a concentrated source of calories, and we're always looking for a way to survive a famine. Fat feels nice in your mouth and it enhances the flavor of other foods, so it's a popular addition in cooking.
